Today we’d like to introduce you to Chamia Harcum.
Hi Chamia, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Thank you so much for having me. I went to culinary school for baking and pastry arts in 2014. I started teaching myself how to decorate cakes by experimenting with fondant and watching a lot of YouTube videos. I sold my first fondant cake in 2015 and I have been in business since then. I have since changed my business name to Chamia’s Cake Studio and pride myself on making creative delicious creations for any occasion!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road. In 2018 I opened my first storefront location in fells point. Unfortunately, that location had to close. I learned so much about running a business from running my storefront and I hope to be able to do bigger and better things in the future. I wrote a book from that experience titled “The broke girls guide to starting a business” that’s available on Amazon. I thought it would help other entrepreneurs that would like to start a business but may not know where to start.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I make edible art. I specialize in replica cakes. I have made an Amazon box, tennis shoes, and iPhone, a ton of purses, backpacks and other bags, a watch and so many other items into cakes. My attention to detail and willingness to try new design ideas sets me apart from others.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
